UAE is mulling the roll out of up to 14-day tourism itineraries as part of the “UAE Grand
Tours” project, allowing tourists to explore all the seven emirates.

Discussions also addressed setting up a digital platform of tourism packages for the “UAE Grand
Tours” project to promote the sector within and outside the country, in a recent meeting in Abu
Dhabi under Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Chairman of the Emirates
Tourism Council.
This project will be implemented in coordination with local tourism authorities and tour operators,
highlighting the UAE's tourism diversity and increasing the length of stay of visitors in the country to
explore all its destinations and landmarks.

The itineraries will be designed to include family, cultural, and environmental tourism, in addition to
adventure tourism.

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are also working on a GCC Grand Tours Visa project
which will allow foreign tourists to explore all the regional countries on a single visa – similar to a
Schengen visa.

However, it is not clear whether the UAE will link the 14-day tourism itineraries with a new visa
dedicated to these tourists under the “UAE Grand Tours” project.

Under the project, there will be year-round promotion, particularly in international tourism markets.

“We, at the Emirates Tourism Council, work in cooperation with our partners in the public and
private sectors, and we are keen to develop the national tourism system through strategic initiatives
and innovative projects,” said Al Marri.
